Product news

Porvair Sciences has extended its range of silicone impact support mats to protect deep well microplates when they are being centrifuged.

Designed to fit into the skirt of the deep well plates, silicone impact support mats allow plates to be used in a centrifuge without risking plate distortion, cracking or breaking, resulting in well leakage and loss of valuable samples. Impact support mats are now available for Porvair Sciences square deep well plates (2ml, 1ml and 350ul), round well plates (2ml & 1ml) and range of large volume deep well plates.

Porvair Sciences offers a range of high-quality polypropylene deep well plates for applications in cell biology, molecular biology, drug discovery, combinatorial chemistry, screening and genomics. Manufactured under class 10,000 conditions from ultra-pure grade polypropylene, Porvair deep well plates contain no contaminants that may leach out and affect stored sample or bacterial or cell growth. For sensitive biological applications, Porvair also offers a selection of 96-well deep well plates that are available certified as RNase/DNase free.

Available in a selection of well shapes and volumes, Porvair 96-well deep well plates are manufactured to SBS/ANSI dimensions ensuring complete compatibility with microplate washers and automated equipment.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.

Explore a range of flasks and beakers, petri dishes, carboys and storage bottles. Labware such as condensers, desiccators and burettes are also available for more specific tasks.

Centrifuges come in three sizes: microcentrifuges, benchtop and floor-standing centrifuges, depending on the volume and number of samples that require separation. When choosing a centrifuge, consider its maximum separation power indicated by its relative centrifugal force (RCF) value. Low force centrifuges reach a maximum RCF of 8,000 g, high-force centrifuges can reach maximum RCF values of 80,000 g. For extremely high forces, consider ultracentrifuges (up to 800,000 g). Refrigerated and vacuum centrifuges also known as concentrators are available for more specialized applications. A range of volumes are available for centrifuge tubes and microfuge tubes, depending on sample sizes.
